IMAGE RENDERING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an image rendering method and apparatus. The method includes: recognizing a target area from a to-be-rendered image; setting a virtual light source for the target area; and performing rendering on the target area by using the virtual light source. The apparatus includes a recognizing unit, a setting unit, and a rendering unit. When rendering is performed on a to-be-rendered image by using the embodiments of the present invention, rendering performed on the to-be-rendered image is implemented by using a virtual light source. The virtual light source plays a rendering action only on a target area corresponding to the virtual light source, but does not affect another part of the to-be-rendered image, and therefore an image effect of the to-be-rendered image can be relatively good.
